A generalisation no doubt, but you are blinded if you cannot see some truth in the statement.

Nor is it a view held only by "techies".

The sit down, do nothing, consume group of the general population is large. There is a lot of money in keeping them as they are.

If this is true on a wide scale, it kinda gives some merit to the anti-Silicon Valley types running around the Bay Area.

I find it interesting that two quotes from individuals is enough to get you to think all techies think the same.

They're examples, it's more a reflection of the general tone of the discussion the last few years.
